UNITED STATES HENRY. E. BEIMLING, on PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, AssIGNoE To CHARLES H. SCHWERDFEGER-AND PLACE.

CHARLES S. WEIERMAN, OF SAME -CENTRIFUGAL CREAMEE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 382.506, dated May 8,183.9.k

Amilication filed July 19, 1887. Serial No. 244,700. (No model.) v

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY F. BEIMLING, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, having resided one year last past in the United States and made oath of intention to become a citizen thereof, a resident of the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gentrifu gal Greamers, which improvement is fully ro set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of an improvement in centrifugal apparatus more especially designed for the separation of cream from milk, as will I be hereinafter fully set forth, and definitely claimed.

Figure l represents a partial side elevation and partial vertical section of a cream and milk separator embodying my invention. Fig.

:o 2 represents a vertical section of a portion at a right angle to Fig. v1.` Fig. 3 represents a side elevation of a detached portion. Fig. 4 represents a -horizontal section'in line x x, Fig. 1, on a reduced scale.A

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a cylindrical, or other shaped vessel, which is connected with a vertical shaft, B, whose bearings are on the frame G, and which -receives motion in any suitable manner.

D represents a tube for supplying the vessel A with milk, the same being secured within said vessel and having vat bottom the distributing-pipes E, which open into the vessel.

F represents a cap, which tightly closes the vessel A and has at the center a chamber, G, which surrounds the tube D and is in communication with the vessel A. Connected with 4o said cap F, 'near the center thereof and inclining outwardly, are pipes H, which communi cate with the chamber G, and also connected to said cap, near theperiphery thereof, are pipes J, leading from the vessel A. Within the vessel A, above the bottom thereof, are

Encircling the vesselA and rising above the same is a jacket, L, secured within which are tables M N, which areof convex` form having vertical iianges on their upper rims, and located at different altitudes, so as'vtoijsurround the discharge ends of the pipes 'H J,- respectively. To the jacket L, at vthe outer rims ot' the tables, arev lsecured pipes P Q,L respectively, which are in communication withY th`e` cham; bers MIN, formed, respectively, bythevtables M N and jacket L. Y The pipesJ are provided with cocks'R, which have attached to them arms S, vwhereby they may be conveniently operated at the top of the jacket L, and the discharge of milk through said pipes adjusted. j 1 65 The operation is-as follows: 'Power is applied to the shaft B, whereby thevessel A isJV rotated. Milk is directed into the tube D andf distributed by the pipes El into the vessel ,Ag and subjected to centrifugal action therein,. 7o whereby the milk and cream separate. The' milk, being heavier, is directed to the periph#L ery of the vessel,while t-he cream, beinglighter, gathers around the tubeD. rPhe cream. as it. increases in quantity rises and enters the 7 5 chamber G and pipes H and discharges therefrom at the top of the latter on the table My and reaches the pipe or spout P, from whence it' may be directed into a suitable'vessel. The skimmed milk ascends at the periphery ofthe 8o vessel,enters the pipes J and discharges there from on the table N, and so reaches the pipe Q, from whence it may be collected. Owing to the blades K the milk is carried around with the vessel, whereby the proper separation of the cream from the milk is assured. Y

Having thus described my invention, what l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- Y 1. In a centrifugal separator, .the rotary vessel A, in combination with the supply-tube D, the cap F, having the chamber Gtherein, l p communicating with said vessel A, the pipes H, inclining outward from said chamber G, the pipes J, leading from the periphery of said vessel A through said'pcap F, the jacket L, encircling said vessel A, the tables M and 3. In a centrifugal separator, the vessel A,

N, and the discharge-pipes P and Q, substanwith in1et-tube D, having distributing-pipes tially as described. E, in combination with cap F, having cham- 15 2. In a centrifugal separator, the rotary ber G, the pipes H and J, leading, respect- 5 vessel A, in combination with the stationary ively, from chamber G and vessel A, the cock supply-tube D, the cap F, having the cham- R in said pipe J, and arms S, attached to said ber G, the outward-inclined pipes H, the cock, substantially asand for the purpose set pipes J, the jacket L, and the flanged tables l forth.

M and N, the said pipes H and J respectively l HENRY F. BEIMLING. Io extending above the flanged rim of said tables XVitnesses:

M and N, substantially as and for the purl JOHN A. WIEDERSHEIM,

pose set forth. A. P. JENNINGS.
